    Abstract: A diffractive optical neural network device includes a plurality of diffractive substrate layers arranged in an optical path. The substrate layers are formed with physical features across surfaces thereof that collectively define a trained mapping function between an optical input and an optical output. A plurality of groups of optical sensors are configured to sense and detect the optical output, wherein each group of optical sensors has at least one optical sensor configured to capture a positive signal from the optical output and at least one optical sensor configured to capture a negative signal from the optical output. Circuitry and/or computer software receives signals or data from the optical sensors and identifies a group of optical sensors in which a normalized differential signal calculated from the positive and negative optical sensors within each group is the largest or the smallest of among all the groups.

    Abstract: A machine vision task, machine learning task, and/or classification of objects is performed using a diffractive optical neural network device. Light from objects passes through or reflects off the diffractive optical neural network device formed by multiple substrate layers. The diffractive optical neural network device defines a trained function between an input optical signal from the object light illuminated at a plurality or a continuum of wavelengths and an output optical signal corresponding to one or more unique wavelengths or sets of wavelengths assigned to represent distinct data classes or object types/classes created by optical diffraction and/or reflection through/off the substrate layers. Output light is captured with detector(s) that generate a signal or data that comprise the one or more unique wavelengths or sets of wavelengths assigned to represent distinct data classes or object types or object classes which are used to perform the task or classification.
